Joanna de Vos

Joanna joined the Center in 2003 as the Director of Development, heading up fundraising and grantwriting for the IDEA Center. Joanna began her career in fundraising working with the annual giving fund at UCLA, with a focus on strengthening undergraduate education. During her last year of law school, Joanna held an internship with the Office of Planned Giving and worked closely with alumni, friends, faculty and staff to benefit the University through estate planning arrangements. She worked at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies until recently transferring to work in development at UC San Diego. 

 

Joanna enjoys outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and running– though not without an ample supply of caffeine close at hand. A fan of good food, good drink and good chocolate, she also enjoys a good book or two in her spare time. Though she won’t publicly admit to this, Joanna can also be found looking for where she parked her car, or watching DVDs of her favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes.
